Multi-Connection Gateway Allowlisting for Rapid Network Setup
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current connection methods require manual switching of main connection manners in devices supporting multiple connection technologies, leading to poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method where a device establishes a first connection to a gateway device and sends network parameters for a second connection, allowing automatic addition to the gateway device's allowlist, enabling rapid network configuration without user intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual switching of main connection manner is used in devices supporting multiple connection technologies, then connection control is simple, but user experience deteriorates due to poor usability
Solution Approach 1:
The device automatically selects and switches between main and auxiliary connection manners based on connection status, eliminating the need for manual user intervention. The system monitors connection states and autonomously determines which connection technology to use as the main connection, thereby improving user experience while maintaining simple connection control.
2Productivity
If rapid network configuration is implemented through automatic connection establishment, then network configuration efficiency improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device pre-configures auxiliary connection manners alongside the main connection technology. When the main connection is established or fails, the system can immediately switch to the pre-configured auxiliary connection without requiring additional manual configuration steps, thereby improving network configuration efficiency while keeping the system architecture manageable through planned redundancy.

AI summary
This application provides a connection method, a device, and a system. In the method, a first device establishes a first connection to a first gateway device. The first device sends, to the first gateway device through the first connection, a network parameter corresponding to a second connection, where the network parameter corresponding to the second connection is used to add the first device to an allowlist of a second gateway device. The first device establishes the second connection to the second gateway device. In this solution, the first device may send, through the established first connection, the network parameter corresponding to the second connection, so that the first device can be added to the allowlist of the second gateway device, thereby implementing rapid network configuration between the first device and the second gateway device, and increasing network configuration efficiency.
